0:29You think you know a browser, but Gemini and Chrome?
0:32That's new. It can help you with practically anything on the web.
0:36Like restoring a vintage motorcycle from a 50-page restoration block.
0:39Or finally break down that long article you've had open for weeks.
0:43Gemini and Chrome is here for it. Ready to make anything online make sense?
0:47There's no place like Chrome. Check responses set up required.
0:50Compatibility and availability varies 18+. What is good? Today we are going to cover the AFC East and we are going to
0:57do a Superflex tight end premium dynasty skill position ranking.
1:00Having a little fun in the summer. We're going to try to get through a bunch of these either here or on Patreon.
1:07And we discuss kind of the changes and whatnot over on Patreon and kind of a little bit more team specific football stuff over there.
1:15And we've been going through that week by week as well.
1:18But let's jump right into it. We've got it tiered up, ready to roll.
1:22Well, Chev is not with us tonight. He is in an airplane somewhere in the sky circling, circling, circling.
1:28Jeremiah, you ready to go? Yeah, man. I'm excited to see just early impression AFC least when it comes to the tight end position.
1:36Superflex tight end premium as we were just discussing pre-show.
1:39I'm excited to dive right into this. Yeah, I mean, this is this was a this was a fun division.
1:45Like you said, I mean, not a whole lot of tight end play.
1:49So we'll see what kind of where this this pause kind of see where this plays out.
1:54But let's jump right into it. I think tier one is pretty self-explanatory.
1:58It's Josh Allen and Drake May. Are you the same?
2:01Yeah, since 2019, Josh Allen has played 16 or more games.
2:04He's a beacon of health and he's here age 30.
2:07We yes, there's a seven year gap. But remember last year when we wanted to put Jaden Daniels ahead of Josh Allen, that was a mistake.
2:15Let's see it one more time from Drake May.
2:18We think we will, Casey. And I think respectively, that's why out of respect for the talent that is Drake May.
2:25While we have Josh Allen, number one, Casey, we both have Drake May number two.
2:29And they're both in a tier of their own tier one imports.
2:33Josh Allen, Drake May. What do you say? Yeah, I mean, we're going to be at this time next year.
2:39We're going to start. We're going to see the slide of Josh Allen starting to happen just just on age alone.
2:45I think right unless he absolutely just is ridiculous, which he has been.
2:49But generally as a dynasty player, you start to all you start to look at that clock and you're thirty one thirty two.
2:57So he's got to naturally slide down the board and guys like if like you said, Drake May has another good year or Jaden Daniels or Caleb Williams.
3:05All those guys kind of can can slide sort of right into that number one top spot in Superflex dynasty rankings here.
3:12Now, when we are done with this, we're going to take a quick look at one QB redraft in the same format
3:19just to see how that was, because I know we're getting into those redraft streets.
3:23We got the redraft channel firing up soon. We're going to be doing tons of redraft content for your pleasure.
3:29But let's jump into tier two here for me.
3:32This was a tough one because I wanted to have Brees Hall in here with these guys.
3:37I got a Chan and then I got Cook and then I have nobody else in that tier, but I did have
3:44Brees Hall in that tier for a while and I decided to drop him down one.
3:49Look, I think Brees Hall can do everything these guys can do.
3:53And now, you know, a Chan has obviously not been on a great team, but he has had a great offensive mind
3:59calling his shots there and having the offense, you know, sort of run through him, especially since Tyree kills kind of been hurt or out of town.
4:08Right. And a Chan is great in his own respect there.
4:11There, Cook has been nothing but fantastic and in a very good situation.
4:15But I think Brees Hall this year could bounce right back into the conversation with those guys.
4:20But for now, I have him a tier below.
4:23So just two players in this tier for me, Jeremiah, who do you have?
4:27I'm right there with you with a Chan and Cook in a PPR setting, the 78 reception, 67 receptions and back to
4:34back seasons or a Chan is advantageous. Two years between the age disparity, Cook 26, a Chan 24.
4:39Now, when we discuss later a little teaser, we are going to look into a Chan being a little bit lower because
4:46this Dolphins offense, we are projecting bad things. We are not going to see them for Vegas for the lowest points per game total.
4:54They are somewhere in the bottom five. I was looking at that, they and the Cardinals.
4:58But being that this is AFC East, the Dolphins are not set up very well.
5:03To your point on Brees Hall, I have him in the next tier at the top.
5:08It just hasn't quite happened yet. And I think as you're drafting, you can have that firewall.
5:13If you see and project Brees Hall, you can go and get somebody at the wide receiver position in the tight end premium in your startups.
5:21And then, of course, super flex being you go into quarterback and push down at your running back position for Brees Hall.
5:28So in the same neighborhood, but not quite the same tier yet.
5:32So I'm right there with you. And leading off, Casey is Brees Hall.
5:36So you have we have commonality, but now it gets a little bit different between tier three.
5:41Mm hmm. Yeah. So in my tier three, like I said, I have Brees.
5:45I have Garrett Wilson and I have Travion Henderson now.
5:48Like I said, I think PPR setting. I think Brees Hall is one of the best PPR backs in the league, best receiving backs in the league.
5:56He needs to be used as such. I think if Gino can come here in here and just be OK, like I
6:03think the Jets did a really good job of resetting this offense.
6:07There's some other fun weapons around them. They still have Mason Taylor, who they drafted in the second round.
6:13Like they could come out in a lot of different sets.
6:16They could be in a heavier set with Sadiq and Mason Taylor on the field at the same time.
6:22And Garrett Wilson obviously is a great number one.
6:25They drafted Cooper. They have A.D. Mitchell. So I think Brees is could really reap the benefits of just mediocre QB play.
6:31And the Jets could really just turn a slight corner.
6:34I'm not saying they're going to go, you know, everything's going to be different because I do think I don't love the head coach.
6:42I do think he'll be out of there after this year, but I think Brees Hall is going to have a nice year.
6:49Garrett Wilson again, probably with all the additions. There'll probably be a slight bit of subtraction, but still, you know, really, really into what Garrett Wilson can do.
6:57We've seen at the beginning of his season last year with Justin Fields be putting up 20 points a game.
7:04Right. And obviously the volume was crazy. I don't think it'll be that crazy this year, but it's still going to be
7:10one of the higher target shares for receivers because I think that's just kind of what he demands.
7:16But again, I think all this offensively for the Jets kind of works together.
7:20And then Travion Henderson. This is dynasty. I think he's a great dynasty asset and it may not even be quite all
7:27there this year from a usage standpoint because I think we're Mondria is good and they trust them.
7:32But this is a this is a dynasty. This is a long game.
7:36We practice patience. So I have Travion up here and no A.J.
7:40Brown in this tier for me. And we can talk about that when you go through your tiers or to the next year.
7:47So, Jeremiah, who's in your tier three? Well, I love it.
7:50A lot of Jets love here and kind of like the economy that we project for most effective tactics in some long
7:57term buys and rebuilds for the Cleveland Browns that we've had from other episodes.
8:01Make sure you all go check that out. The Jets are part of that economy of getting better because there's past bias
8:08and anchor bias there against the Jets, you know, the goddamn Jets from Big Daddy.
8:13Sure. And you have, I think, what's going to happen with Geno Smith.
8:17They're going to be the Cardinals East from 2025 here in 2026.
8:20So I like what you're saying about Brees Hall, Garrett Wilson.
8:24I've got Brees Hall at the top. Then it's Travion Henderson on 180 carries.
8:28He managed just over 900 yards. So imagine what he can do with maybe a little bit more volume.
8:34Again, to your point, Ramondre Stevenson still in the way.
8:37But we see a Jameer Gibbs-like skill set. It's just multiple tiers down right now.
8:42That takeover ability is absolutely there. And we know running backs mature much quicker because the shelf life is much shorter.
8:48But in pockets of the season, don't be surprised if a full breakout occurs for Henderson this time next year.
8:54We're talking Gibbs and Henderson alike. And it's just a few rounds difference.
8:58It's crazy until it happens. Then where we differ, we veer.
9:02It's A.J. Brown seven overall for me in this tier.
9:05Then Garrett Wilson. Garrett Wilson has 100 reception season under his belt.
9:08Now imagine what he can do with just some competency.
9:11It's so funny how starved we've been, Casey, when Geno Smith is making us like, oh, this is water in the desert.
9:18But I've got A.J. Brown just above Garrett Wilson for the reason of I see not just a dead cat bounce this year for A.J.
9:26Brown, where he's just going to annihilate the league and go on a revenge tour with Drake May.
9:31But I see this as a two-year play. And in Dynasty, two years is an eternity.
9:36I think we're going to get two just burn your face off years for A.J.
9:41Brown in tandem with Drake May. Where it goes from there, who knows?
9:45Because we know about the knee drainage repetitively. I think between the ears, for at least two more years, A.J.
9:51Brown is going to lock in. Can't guarantee anything beyond that.
9:54So that's where I have him just above Garrett Wilson.
9:57And the better situation with the quarterback, Drake May, who's number two in our rankings, that's going to pull him above for me.
10:04So a diversion there where you're Wilson above and you're tiered down to Brown in the next.
10:10I've got Brown in this tier just above Garrett Wilson.
10:13Yeah. Yeah. And some of this offensive love with the Jets hinges on this offensive line, which they've invested some in.
10:19And I think it can be at least a league average.
10:22Like, we're talking about a lot of league average, but if the Jets offense can just be near the league average for
10:29offensive line and quarterback play, then I think that tide rises these ships that we're talking about right now.

12:11Appreciate y'all. Peace. And AJ Brown doesn't make it into this tier for me.
12:15This is just a dynasty value thing for me, basically, at this point.
12:19Like, he's 28 years old. He's on his third team or whatever.
12:23I think he's going to be good. I think points per game-wise, he's going to be up there with those guys.
12:30But in dynasty, we do have to look at the lens of, hey, the long term and what the rest of the
12:36community is going to value these guys at. And right now, like, you're just on the tail end of the curve for AJ Brown.
12:44We've already seen the value kind of fall out of it.
12:47Like, I think he's a very good acquisition if you're trying to win and score points.
12:52But it's probably an okay time to sell if you want to try.
12:56You know, camp's about to start. Now, today, we got the Christian Gonzalez.
13:00Like, oh, he deed him up. Like, look, look, Christian Gonzalez.
13:03Like, number one, AJ Brown's not trying. It's no pads.
13:06And Christian Gonzalez is, what, a top five, top three corner in the league?
13:11So, like, that's to be expected. But, you know, to me, I just have, I have AJ Brown in tier four by himself.
13:18I think he's better than all the other players.
13:20I wanted to give him a little bit of respect.
13:24But as far as the assets above him, I just feel like the value on them is just so much greater than what AJ Brown is.
13:31And it's just simply a value thing for me to have him by himself in four.
13:36Yeah, I love it. I see that, too. And to your point, AJ Brown, it's reflexive where you can be on sell side and buy side.
13:44And it's a good, healthy economy there that's developed for AJ Brown.
13:48Funny enough, when you mention Christian Gonzalez, it just makes me think, that's so bad for the rest of the league.
13:54When you think about iron sharpening iron, Michael and Deion Sanders going at it in practice.
13:59Yeah. Hell for the rest of the NFL. So then you have somebody like Christian Gonzalez and AJ Brown.
14:05Talk about nightmare fuel for Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots.
14:09Right. So where is your tier four? Tier four.
14:12Tier four. I'm going to go with Dalton Kincaid with some credence to the tight end premium.
14:17I know we let off the show talking about the tight end position being a little bit down.
14:22But Dalton Kincaid, nine overall. And then it's Omar Cooper, Kenyon Sadiq.
14:26This is both a dynasty play as well. And they're rookies.
14:29And we see the ascension for the Jets. Things getting better.
14:33DJ less. Not to be biased. It's DJ more.
14:36He is 12. Other people may have him higher.
14:38They might be more akin to my AJ Brown take where they're more in the present in the moment.
14:44But for me, I'm practicing caution here. And there's a little bit of that youth baked in where I've got DJ more.
14:51Maybe this year he hits and does well. But I don't see long term viability.
14:5513. It's Malik Willis. It's really respect to the format.
14:59The Miami Dolphins are projecting very badly. I'm going to be looking this season in redraft leagues where you can go and stream defenses.
15:06I'm going to be attacking the Miami Dolphins. And then it's Ramondre Stevenson at 14.
15:10You mentioned it, Casey. A lot of respect to the fact that he's still there.
15:15And he's going to be a menace to Travion Henderson's ceiling.
15:18And then Geno Smith, 15. We talked about the Jets.
15:22Freeze, Paul, Garrett Wilson. And then, of course, the two rookies in Sadiq and Cooper.
15:26Well, it's going to buoy up, lift all the boats.
15:29And there at 15 is Geno Smith because we have a bonafide starter.
15:33He's somebody that you can click in your startup as your QB to and be happy with the rest of your team.
15:40So what do you make of that? And then how does your next tier look, Casey?
15:45Well, I'm going to jump right into five because it's similar to what you have.
15:49And obviously, I just had the single four. So that's kind of where we'll have like a little bit of offset in what we're doing.
15:57But in five, I've got Sadiq, Cooper, Kincaid, Willis, and more.
16:00So almost right on there. I do not have Geno Smith in that tier or Ramondre in that tier.
16:06But you've got Sadiq and Cooper with a little bit of age, good capital.
16:11I know the Jets aren't sexy right now. But we've talked about this throughout the offseason of like, it's not sexy and
16:17it can never happen until it does. And that's the attitude that I think can make you a little bit of money,
16:24whether it's figurative money or value money and dynasty of just like the attitude of, well, that's that.
16:30There's just a lot of people who like to just be on that staunch.
16:34Well, it's not until it is right. And I do think that there could be, hey, look, they get a different quarterback
16:41and a different head coach next year in New York and they've got some building blocks.
16:45All of a sudden, this is now an attractive situation.
16:49And the offensive line is semi-young. And if that shows out, like this could be really fun.
16:54Dalton Kincaid is somebody who I think should be a featured piece of that offense.
16:58I just can't bet on it just yet. And I like him a lot.
17:03And we know what those have. Everybody's talked about the efficiency numbers of Kincaid when targeted out there.
17:08He also needs to stay healthy. Then I have Malik Willis, who is just, you know, obviously we think this this Dolphins.
17:15Is he going to be the sacrificial lamb for this?
17:18You know, this new tree that's in there in Miami.
17:21I'm not sure the thing that you do like about him that I think in most situations is different is that those
17:28guys brought him in and were previously familiar with his character.
17:31So I think they kind of know what it is and know that he has the resolve to kind of guide them
17:38through this season into next and give him a chance into another season.
17:42So he's here, although don't rule out Quinn Ewers just yet.
17:45But anyway, and then DJ Moore, just kind of the same thing.
17:49Like you were saying, AJ Brown, he's a year older than him.
17:53Had didn't have the best season he had in Chicago last year or the best season he's ever had in Chicago last year.
18:00And now he's in another situation where I just mentioned it with Kincaid is I just don't trust the Brady offense to
18:06really be a feeder to one guy. Right. I think DJ Moore could have a very good season or Kincaid or both.
18:13Maybe both of them are the again with the rising tide, but they could be the thing that helps get Buffalo over the top.
18:20I think both are very good players still. So that's my tier five there.
18:25Let's jump into your tier five because we're a tier apart now.
18:28Yep. So for me, this pocket of players, it starts to be about they've got talent, but they need opportunity.
18:35Right. Right. So it leads off number 16 overall for me in this tier is Adonai Mitchell.
18:40And then Shakir is one of those venerable players who's he's a veteran.
18:44And we've seen now he's being obstructed by DJ Moore.
18:47So he's fallen just a little bit here. But going back to the narrative of, hey, get an opportunity.
18:53Go absolutely off. Ray Davis at 18. One of the best handcuffs in fantasy football, like direct handcuffs.
18:58Or if James Cook were to miss time, we know it's like the money ball mean Casey.
19:03He's a great player. Ray Davis, except he can only go off against New York Jets.
19:08Whatever reason, he's had some excellent run out against the Jets.
19:12And then you've got Greg Dulcich at 19. I know Shav has talked him up a ton.
19:17There's a free tight end in Miami. And that role has been fruitful, profitable.
19:21I know there's a coaching change, as you have mentioned.
19:24But again, there's nobody. And it's Greg Dulcich. So we have a little bit of a truther element there.
19:30It's funny. There's a little row of Miami players here.
19:33Chris Bell, Caleb Douglas, the murkiness of, okay, long-term play.
19:36I like Bell more. But you and I, Casey, have talked about the sleeper element.
19:41Of Caleb Douglas. So that could pivot and flip-flop.
19:44And then there's some respect to Romeo Dubs. Hey, he can generate 14 points on a given week.
19:49Not a barn burner, not a 30-burger type of player.
19:52But he's there in that New England offense at 22.
19:55And then it's Handcuff City and Ollie Gordon. Isaiah Davis.
19:58The one main note on that, Casey, is later on it's Braylon Allen, Jalen Wright.
20:03I see Braylon Allen, Jalen Wright as the threes.
20:06And I've got my twos up here in this section with Gordon and Isaiah Davis.
20:10Gotcha. All right. Well, I'm going to jump into my tier six because, like I said, we're a little cattywampus here.
20:17I've got Romeo Dobbs leading that off. I've got Ramondre.
20:20I've got Chris Bell. I've got Skylar Bell. I've got Khalil Shakir.
20:23And then I have Geno Smith. So, you know, some pulling players from both of your last two tiers here.
20:30What do you what's your thoughts on on Romeo Dobbs?
20:33Because I really like the player. Obviously, we knew A.J.
20:36Brown was kind of coming to town. And like it was it was a short-lived success story for Romeo Dobbs potentially being the number one there.
20:44And we kind of knew it wasn't going to be.
20:47But like, you know, he feels like a number two.
20:50I feel like this is a really good situation.
20:52Is he somebody that we should maybe be a little bit more bullish on?
20:57And it's kind of like maybe a secret little sneaky, like double digit points a game.
21:02Nice little third receiver. Nice little flex here. I kind of lean that way because I do think he's a very good receiver.
21:09He absolutely is. But I think there's just a floor.
21:12There's a governor on his output. And especially if it's A.J.
21:15Brown, it's going to be the A.J. Brown show.
21:18A lot of this is going to run through him.
21:21And then, of course, Mike Rabel was carried on the philosophy of being able to run the ball and bludgeon teams to
21:28death with the one-two punch of Ramondre Stevenson and Trevion Henderson.
21:31Funny enough, Jam Miller could even mix in there.
21:34Patriots are not. You love Jam and Jam right in there.
21:37We jammed him in. But day three, backs, undrafted backs, Patriots are all A-OK with, hey, next man up.
21:43And in that cold New England environment, remember, this is a very good defense, one of the top five defenses heading into next season.
21:50So that adage of run the ball, have the finite plays against the opposing defense.
21:55We have to think about that sometimes in our fantasy leagues because that's where I start to say to myself, game flow,
22:02there's not going to be as many 51 to 55 barn burners that you might have in the NFC West with this New England Patriots team and stylistically.
22:10So that's where I push back on Romeo Dubs being more than I can see him hitting that consistent clip of 10 points.
22:17But you don't want to take zeros in best ball, but I don't know if you want to take the mitigated upside
22:24in your lineup leagues, be a dynasty. So that's where I'm more cautious.
22:28And if he's going to grease the wheel, Romeo Dubs, for a trade, I'll put him in there.
22:34So you seem to think highly, though, of Dubs.
22:36Do you see him hitting any ceiling if A.J.
22:39Brown were to be completely out? Well, I mean, that's always got to be part of it.
22:44I mean, A.J. Brown hasn't missed like a ridiculous amount of games, but he's been seemingly like hobbled coming into a lot
22:51of games and has had some ailments. So that's certainly something.
22:54But I mean, I don't I feel like he could be close to double digit touchdowns.
22:59I mean, I think there's these two guys. And then obviously, I think Hunter Henry and Drake have a good relationship off the field.
23:07Raritan will be in the next one. He's kind of like more of a stash kind of player for me, but I do like him.
23:14But I do think Romeo and A.J. Brown are going to be kind of like A.J.
23:19Brown and Devonta Smith as far as like the target distribution for.
23:23And, you know, I think Kyle Williams is a good vertical threat and he could develop and Boutte and Kyle Williams, I
23:30feel like are kind of a little bit not Spider-Man Mimi.
23:33But, you know, if they were comfortable with Boutte being having a big role, not that I don't, you know.
23:39Should teams not improve in a spot if they could even like I hate saying like if they believed in Boutte, they wouldn't have brought dubs in.
23:47It's like, well, I mean, two things can be true.
23:51They think Boutte is good and they're like, hey, we know this guy's good and we know what we can get from him.
23:58And we've got a really good grade or however you want to say picking up a free agent would be.
24:04So, yeah, I mean, I think Romeo Dobbs could be a sneaky sneak into a WR2 territory for a lot of games potentially.
24:11And some of that would have to be based off of touchdowns.
24:14Right. There would have to be. Go ahead. You make a good point, though.
24:19So, well, eyebrow raise for excitement when you said double digit touchdowns, because when you speak it into existence for Romeo Dobbs,
24:25it's absolutely within the range of outcomes. I think to a finer point of what you're instilling, I think the message that
24:32needs to come across to the audience, too, is in two wide receiver sets.
24:37It's going to be Romeo Dobbs when it comes to shaving down to two wide receiver sets.
24:42Opposite A.J. Brown will be deferential deference to Romeo Dobbs, who they intentionally brought in.
24:46And so that bears opportunity and tied to Drake May, who this time next year, Casey, if he's the number one player
24:53in dynasty startups, it's within the range of outcomes.
24:56You're just asking the question. It's not crazy to think that Romeo Dobbs would absolutely thrive in profit.
25:01Yeah. Romeo has also missed a reasonable amount of time as well.
25:05So not to say that he's been the picture of health either.
25:09So I got Chris Bell in there. I like the player.
25:12He's fun. And it's just wide open to Miami.
25:15There's some OK draft capital there. Skyler Bell really like that player.
25:18Little jammed up in that room, but kind of haven't been there.
25:22Shakir is going to stand in the way of Bell, I think, but has been fairly productive throughout.
25:28I just didn't really know what to do with him here, but I wanted to give a little bit of respect to
25:34his name because he has been a good play.
25:37He's been kind of like a Romeo Dobbs sort of player.
25:41And then Geno Smith, like you said, there's just a starting quarterback who I think is fine enough if he can be
25:47upright and make it through a season. So that's my that's my tier six.
25:52Moving on to tier seven for me, I've got Hunter Henry, Eli Raritan, Malik Willis, A.D.
25:56Mitchell, Dulcich, Mason Taylor, Caleb Douglas, Kyle Williams, Ray Davis, Isaiah Davis, Braylon Allen, Jalen Wright and Ollie Gordon.
26:02So to me, this is a big tier of there's some useful guys and some handcuffs here.
26:08And I think I could probably move Kyle Williams and Caleb Douglas potentially down.
26:12I really do like the opportunity for Caleb Douglas, though.
26:15You mentioned Dulcich in the last in your last year.
26:18And I think that he's going to get a lot of opportunity.
26:22A.D. Mitchell's kind of forgotten. It's like, hey, we got these new we got this Alpha One and we got these new toys.
26:29But like he's he could be the two all season long for this offense.
26:33Potentially, I think Malik Washington has a very big opportunity here to potentially grab.
26:37And we talked about Chris Bell's up there. Obviously, they just drafted him.
26:41But Malik Willis could easily lead this team in receptions this year.
26:45While that's going to be a good thing or not.
26:48I don't you know, we don't know what this offense is going to be.
26:52We mentioned Raritan as a very fun stash and then a bunch of basically handcuffed running backs as well in this tier.
26:59So this was a big, expansive tier for me.
27:02I do think I should move Kyle Williams probably down.
27:05I just really do like the player. But I just think there's too many mouths to feed there for how that offense is going to operate.
27:13Whereas like the Miami offense is a lot more up in the air of how it may operate.
27:18And Ray Davis leads leads the handcuffs with Isaiah Davis right behind him for me.
27:23And then Raylan Allen and then the two Miami backups with Wright and Gordon.
27:27So what's your tier next year look like? So just question on that, though.
27:31Yeah. On Ray Davis. This message is brought to you by Apple Card.

28:26I've got more of a distinction between Davis and those other four respective Jets and Dolphins running backs.
28:32Do you have any thought to raising Ray Davis?
28:34Or is it simply you've got Ray Davis at the top because, too, as much as I might be bullish and as
28:41much as I might like the opportunity for him, he still needs the opportunity.
28:45And when it's one of those things where it's a zero or he's a hero, there's no real in-between.
28:51Is that why you have Ray Davis a little bit?
28:54I'm not going to say Barry, but he's just lower.
28:57Well, you know, I think I believe he gets an opportunity to go somewhere else next year to potentially have a different role.
29:04But they keep inserting Ty Johnson into that offense at other times.
29:08So, like, if I knew it was always going to be Ray, then I might even put him up maybe even a tick higher here.
29:16I do think he's the most desirable handcuff out of any of these by a decent margin.
29:21And only because I don't think Isaiah Davis is necessarily going to beat Braylon Allen out.
29:26But I think Isaiah Davis is better than Braylon Allen.
29:29Personally, that's just me. And there are some numbers to back it up of I think Isaiah Davis has been better when he's on the field.
29:37And as far as Wright and Gordon, I just don't know which one's the guy.
29:41So I can't say. And, you know, I don't I like both.
29:45I really do like both of those. I like both of those players coming out a good bit.
29:51And they just kind of muddied it up. So that's that's kind of why I don't I'm high.
29:56I'm the highest on Ray Davis of those guys.
29:59But it's not like by a huge margin. What I think would be the differentiator to maybe even move him up a
30:06little bit more would be the fact that he will be the only guy who has a chance to go somewhere else
30:12and maybe earn more of a B role for something or potentially figure out a way to be an A role.
30:19Because I think he's a good player. Decent player anyway.
30:22Well, in fantasy football, we have to acknowledge wish casting and like Luther Burden comes to mind for him to hit his startup ADP.
30:29There's still you can be bullish on the player, but still understand, my God, there's an element of wish casting amongst those
30:36cast of players on a very much cheaper scale.
30:39Somebody like Ray Davis, I have to acknowledge as much as I like his talent.
30:43There's a wish casting element to it where it's not happened.
30:47I don't have definitive proof of what will happen.
30:49My firm belief is it's one of those things where he's a nothing, but he'll be a hero in the event that James Cook was entirely out.
30:58But because of what happens, there's that murkiness with somebody like Ty Johnson.
31:02When James Cook is in the fold, that's going to leave some people bearish.
31:06That's the part where if you're in on Ray Davis, I think that keeps his price depressed and there's an opportunity there.
31:13But again, I speculate and I feel firmly that that would be the outcome.
31:17But at the same time, it would still have to happen.
31:20And there's the range of outcomes where I could be wrong on that.
31:24And it is a wish cast. So, yeah, it's it's the shoehorning of Ty Johnson.
31:29And they do seem to really like him, especially past catching third down situations, which does.
31:34I feel like limit Ray Davis a little bit to just like a weird tweener role sometimes for them.
31:40And that's kind of, you know, where where it is there.
31:43And I did want to shout out. I think Hunter Henry's always tremendously undervalued in every in every way, shape or form.
31:50And if you need him, you can usually play him.
31:53And it's not the worst ever. And then there's been plenty of stretches where he's been very productive.
31:58And I know that him and Alan or him and may have a very good off field relationship with one another, which be that as it may.
32:07But that can be something that, you know, I am looking for my guy, you know.
32:12So I feel bad almost putting Henry in this with all those other guys.
32:16But he felt like a tweener a little bit for me.
32:19But I do think we need to put respect on Hunter Henry's name as like a zero tight end hero, if you will.
32:26Well, he'd be one of those players who, even though he's down further, Casey, you highlight his name as a good click.
32:33If you're in a situation where it's like, hey, I need some points.
32:37I'm mining some points and I'm going to get something out of there.
32:41And then you're just sitting there looking at his age 31, a little bit longer in the tooth.
32:47Although for tight ends, they have a lot better shelf life.
32:50Right. But you see a little bit of the writing on the wall with what's going on with Eli Raritan.
32:56And you never know what could happen down the future with the way two tight end sets, 13 personnel sets are going in the league.
33:04Who's to say that New England won't just go and draft another tight end next year?
33:09But that that part is some speculation. All right.
33:11Give us the run out here for you. Yep.
33:14So I've got it's Eli Raritan at 25, Hunter Henry at 26.
33:18They're neck and neck dynasty value. Basically, it's what I spoke to.
33:21You want to print some points? Click on Hunter Henry.
33:25If you're fine where you're at and you have some other veteran who can print points for you at tight end, go Eli Raritan.
33:32And then it's Kyle Williams, Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert.
33:35Just a trio of wide receivers who we don't really know what to do with.
33:39We don't know if they'll matriculate up the depth chart.
33:42We have some belief in their talent, their skill set.
33:45But again, there's ambiguity with the Miami situation for Malik Washington.
33:49And then Kyle Williams, of course, we've liked. I know Shev has talked about some Terry McLaurin skill set, which I can kind of see there.
33:57But again, we spoke just a few minutes ago.
33:59We went on about Romeo Dubs. So it's like, hey, so the seat's taken right now.
34:04And after that, it's Jalen Wright, Braylon Allen. So you and I divert on that patch of backup running backs for the
34:11Jets and the Dolphins, where I've got Wright and Allen tiered below.
34:15I'm just not impressed by them. I have a little bit more hype and excitement about Ollie Gordon and Isaiah Davis.
34:21My God, watch Isaiah Davis. It is. He's electric.
34:24And we're getting reports, too. That's the other drumbeat where I've separated.
34:28We're getting some reports on Isaiah Davis kind of taking that number two role.
34:32And if you remember last year, Braylon Allen was not smashing.
34:35He did a little bit in preseason where he had like huge lanes, like a truck could go through.
34:41And then when the season hit, he just was not impressive.
34:45And then it runs out rest of them. Gayshawn Boutte, Mason Taylor, Quinn Ewers.
34:49We'll leave the light on for you. Skyler Bell, Mario Douglas, Keon Coleman, Kate Klubnik, the whole host of players who are left.
34:56That's my tier. It just gets gradually ambiguous. Right.
34:59These are like the stashier players right here. These are yours.
35:02So my tier eight, obviously I've got an extra tier or two from you.
35:06But it's Tolbert. It's Ewers. Keon Coleman, because I just don't know what to do with him.
35:11Boutte, Demario Douglas, which I think Demario Douglas could be a good slot somewhere if he could just get some more opportunity.
35:18And then I threw Kevin Coleman in there because we've been talking this whole time about like we just don't know where
35:25this Dolphin situation is going to pan out. I obviously like Bell and Douglas a good bit.
35:30I like Malik Washington. He's been my dog for a while.
35:34But I just wanted to throw Kevin Coleman in there.
35:37And then I don't know what to do with Tolbert.
35:40And I think Ewers should just be stashed everywhere for sure.
35:43So that's going to wrap up the last tier there.
35:46Let's jump over to the redraft side of this thing real quick.
35:50If we went to redraft and we went to 1QB PPR, how would this shape out?
35:55And we're just going to run through this real quick here just because it is the season.
36:00It is the season, correct? So we pre-show kind of went through this and did this consensus wise.
36:05So we've got kind of similar opinions and rankings here.
36:08So tier one, we got James Cook and A.J.
36:11Brown. You felt like A.C. did not belong in this tier, right?
36:15Correct. A lot of it is Vegas projections tearing down.
36:18And look, I know Shev is saying, look, A.C.
36:21didn't forget football. And I'm right there with you.
36:24But at the same time, who's going to remember football a little bit more this year, maybe, with better offenses?
36:30It's going to be James Cook and A.J. Brown.
36:32So I distinctly have them. If you're in some of the best ball streets, which mirror redraft, you'll see flip-flopping A.J.
36:39Brown. So this is a little bit sharper to what's happening in market.
36:43You'd never do this. You'd never pick A.J. Brown over Devon A.C.
36:46in Dynasty. So that speaks to the redraft right now.
36:50Right. So tier two, then we have A.C. and we have Brees Hall and we have Garrett Wilson.
36:55That completes tier two there, right? So, you know, I think A.C.
36:59and I don't exactly know where the ADP is on those between A.C.
37:03and Brees, really. But I would assume that there's an OK gap there still.
37:07Yes. Like at the one-two turn, there's just a batch of running backs and it's somebody like A.C.
37:13And then closer to round three, get a little more discount.
37:16It is Brees Hall. But I think, Casey, even if this weren't the division, I would, even though they're four and five,
37:23wouldn't you venture to say that Brees Hall would be much closer to Devon A.C.
37:27And still? I mean, I've been a Brees Hall truther for a while.
37:31I was big on him last year and I'm going with the Chris Olave, you know, post-hyper, post-Casey breakout sleeper sort of deal here.
37:39I think he's going to have a good season.
37:41So I'm with it. I could have almost squeezed A.C.
37:44into the first because I just do think there's just going to be so much piled on him that they're just going
37:51to will him to a good fantasy season because it's just going to be garbage volume his way in a PPR situation.
37:58And then, you know, we mentioned Garrett Wilson. I still think I trust him a little less currently just because the situation
38:05has evolved a little bit around him. But there is that you could make the argument of like the situation evolves.
38:11Everything gets a little better. Maybe the targets decreased by a little bit, but all the situation gets a little more efficient.
38:18So we've got tier two there. Tier three, we've got Travion Henderson and then we've got the two quarterbacks.
38:24We did some of this to just kind of show you where in redraft in one quarterback where these kind of quarterbacks would slot down.
38:31Henderson, Allen and May here. Right. I mean, if you want to, you know, the typically the mobile quarterbacks that are going to score a lot of points.
38:40They're like third round ish players in redraft and or best ball.
38:44Right. Yeah. If somebody wants to nitpick, they could say, well, you know, Allen would go first and Henderson would go next and then it'd be Drake.
38:52But that all becomes preference of team build. And I think you and I, Casey, are projecting a little bit of that breakout at a more scarce position.
39:00And then that push down on one quarterback. And that's the other difference in the redraft.
39:05See, in the best ball streets, Josh Allen will go.
39:08But people make two and three quarterback builds. A lot of times in a 15 round, 16 round redraft league in a
39:15one quarterback setting, you might just go with one and then get a biweek fill in and you're trying to max your roster.
39:22So even then it would just be, hey, we have seven, Henderson, eight Allen, nine many.
39:27Yeah. And so are you, would you be pulling, are you pulling the trigger on Travion in the redraft and best ball?
39:34It feels a little better redraft. Are you feel, you feel confident about pulling the trigger on Travion?
39:39Yes. And it's partly a risk tolerance. I'm happy to just, Hey, F it, man.
39:44I'm going to go for the upside. But again, if I'm doing five redrafts, however many that are out there, I can't
39:51remember off the top of my head. One might be Judkins.
39:54One might be Skadabo and another might be Travion Henderson.
39:57So I'm not married to the idea. I have to get him every single draft, but yeah, absolutely play for the upside
40:04and hope that because you're playing with a little more home league, right?
40:08That it suppresses his price just a little bit.
40:11Oh, he didn't really quite fall out. Right. And in redraft, I mean, dynasty too, but like, especially redraft, like you can play it conservative.
40:18And if it's just a bunch of yahoos in the league, that would probably be fine.
40:23You could just, but like generally in a, in a stiffer league with stiffer competition, like you're gonna need, like you're gonna
40:30need to hit on like two upside plays to, to set yourself up to try to win, win the redraft tournament or, or, you know, the league.
40:38Rather, it's really hard to just play super conservative with a league full of really good players and not, you know, the
40:45team that's gonna, he's either gonna hit on like a waiver wire guy or two or smashed in the, you know, on
40:52the Travion and the whatever, fourth or fifth round, whatever that would be.
40:56Um, and hit on the 11th round player. Right.
40:58And, and so that's to me over time has always been kind of the elixir to be like, ah, I see how
41:05he, you know, in good leagues, everybody's coming out with a semi okay team.
41:09It's just like, which guys elevate it to, to another level.
41:13So Travion could be that guy this year for sure.
41:16Uh, tier four, we have DJ Moore and Kincaid.
41:19Um, this is, would not be tight end premium here.
41:22This would just be standard PPR and you're, you feel okay with Kincaid in that range.
41:27Um, you wouldn't, what would, should Ramond Ray be higher here?
41:30Or is it, is this, you feel good about this tier?
41:33I think it just depends on how you've built the range of your team.
41:38And do you feel okay? Okay. What's upside? Could Dalton Kincaid be a top five tight end this year?
41:43All the metrics that we laid out. I know Shev had mentioned Kincaid and you had mentioned some good stuff about Kincaid
41:50on a prior episode where it's like, wow, he's got some really good metrics out there.
41:55Ramond Ray Stevenson in, in top five at his position just doesn't really come into play.
42:00That, that thought just doesn't seem realistic at all.
42:03So at that point I'd be more than happy to go with somebody like a Dalton Kincaid and then to DJ Moore.
42:09Hey, I've called him DJ Moore a ton, but Hey, if there's one year where he could just absolutely ball out with
42:16an unstructured quarterback extension of plays, less structure. And you don't need the route nuance that the discipline that DJ Moore has lacked at times.
42:24And he can just go off athleticism. Hey, this is the year.
42:28Yeah. All right. Tier five. We've got Romeo Dobbs.
42:30We've got Ramond Ray and we've got Malik Willis, a little Russian quarterback upside there.
42:35So I think, I think that's a, that's a pretty just, Hey, these are, you know, Hey, you missed out on quarterbacks.
42:42You take the upside of the rushing of, of Malik Willis super late and Romeo Dobbs and Ramond Ray.
42:47It seemed like we kind of talked about it in the other show, just guys that you could plug in, but they're
42:54not going to be those potential league winners necessarily.
42:57Right. So then we get into kind of your tier six to me.
43:01This is, you got, we got a Sadiq. We've got Omar Cooper, which are just kind of those upside swings of that
43:08could be nothing could be dropped by week two, three.
43:11And then you've got Khalil Shakir and Gino Smith, which, you know, probably will be the last pick or not drafted.
43:17Right. In that tier six there. And then tier seven, we've got a couple of guys with swings here.
43:23We've got Dulcich who we mentioned, Hey, maybe you don't draft a tight end all, all, or he's your second, or maybe
43:30drafted Kittle and you take Dulcich at the end.
43:33But, you know, then an AD Mitchell and a Davis, so our favorite handcuff, somebody who could be a forgotten man and AD Mitchell in that tier seven.
43:41And then tier eight is just kind of like, Hey, these are late round stabs.
43:46Maybe they're your first round of pickups on waivers, your Chris Bell, your Skylar Bell, Hunter Henry and Malik Washington.
43:52So anything to comment on through those last three tiers there, Jeremiah?
43:56Well, you covered it really well. Just one note on Malik Washington and some of those honorable mentions every year we have, what was it?
44:03Miles Austin years ago, who was like a week one darling.
44:07You could have somebody like Malik Washington first three, four weeks.
44:10There's ambiguity and it's the Dolphins receiving room. Somebody who the first couple of weeks pulls everybody to blow all their fab
44:17cool first two weeks and then fall off the face of the earth.
44:21I could absolutely see it. But who has the talent to even get there and be there?
44:26It's Malik Washington. So it's in one sense, it's not saying he's going to blow up, but he could be a trap, a waiver wire redraft trap.
44:34But at the same time, we always get those cool surprises.
44:38And this could be one that we're looking back a couple months from now.
44:42Like, hey, yeah. Malik Washington was one of those call outs.
44:45Absolutely. And to that point, like if he is one of your last round pick, like and you don't have to spend
44:52the waiver and everybody else is chasing. That's usually kind of what I like to do with my last pick potentially, unless
44:59I'm like tying up a loose end here with with a little bit of insurance or something.
45:04But like Malik Washington, like you said, the first two, like first week, it's like, oh, he's crushed the target share.
45:10And it's like we see so much like the first couple of weeks you start you pay attention.
45:16At least I do a lot more to target share and snap percentage because you're trying to figure out things.
45:22And then as time goes, everything kind of settles in for the most part.
45:26And some of those big snap shares and target shares decline and the things the right order of things gets established.
45:33But what I'm saying is, is Chris Bell is potentially injured and maybe not fully ready to go.
45:38Douglas is a rookie, right? Tolbert's the other guy there.
45:41Malik Washington comes out the first two weeks and it's like, oh, look at the usage.
45:46Look at the target share. By week three, he's in a redraft trade for you because Chris Bell's right around the corner.
45:53Maybe it's all season, but he's definitely somebody you could pick with your last pick even and potentially be like, ah, he
46:00could get a deal over the top and redraft, which is a tough street to sled down, right?
46:05Getting redraft trades done. Or at least I've never had a ton of success.
46:09It's always got to be some sort of two for one.
46:13It's very hard to get, at least in my experience in leagues where people are fairly competent.
46:18It's hard to really at least get a decent trade done.
46:21Yeah, absolutely. And it's just, that's the fun of redraft because there's these lightning in the bottle moments throughout the season where
46:28you would never admit, like it would almost sound like you have some kind of an addiction or a problem to say, right.
46:35This, this player is really exciting. And you see trades put up and you would never dream or fathom of that in dynasty.
46:42But for whatever reason, like last year, a prime example would be Torrey Horton.
46:47Had he stayed healthy and continued going like another one or two games, all of a sudden you wouldn't be able to buy him for anything.
46:54Like you would have had the finder's fee, the room fee.
46:58Yeah, it is. It's quite, it's wild how that happens so much in the National Football League.
47:03And there'll be a player who, Elijah Mitchell a couple of years ago for your 49ers, like the discovery fee on that to try and venture trade.
47:11But came up and you had one of the best years ever if you had him on your team.
47:17Correct. Or Eli Moore. You know, from, was that, was that neat?
47:21Was that the Jets? Oh, when he had like a 30-burger against the Colts.
47:25Elijah Moore came, came out and put up some points there for a minute and again, which has been nothing since then.
47:32Anyway, let's wrap this one up. Got a little twofer in there.
47:36Got a little dynasty for your pleasure. And then we got caught a little redraft at the end.
47:41Thought it would be a good, good way to kick off the redraft season for the FFD.
47:46Again, that channel will be fired back up. We've got a redraft channel, but we're going to be doing plenty of redraft stuff with Shev and Jeremiah.
47:55Holding that down all season long. Keep it locked in.
47:58We'll see you next week. Jeremiah, I'm Casey. FF Dynasty.
48:01Peace.
